Get Into Position

Filed under: 1 — Ericka Jackson @ 1:31 am
I am spending my day writing for my next book (Beyond Fearless: How To Remove Every Hindrance From Your Life) and I am just overcome with this feeling that something is about to break forth.
Can you feel it?
It feels like all of the work that you have been doing and the efforts you have put out into the world are about to pay off. It is harvest time. I received two – not one but two – incredible prophetic words yesterday that confirmed this. And I know it must not just be me feeling this.
 
I was asking God what I should be doing and I heard, “Get Into Position.”
 
Is your life ready for the very blessings you have been praying for…because they are coming. Are things in order? Are you taking care of yourself? Are you getting your sleep? Are you being productive and purposeful? Are you being disciplined with what God has given you? Have you handled the things God has been telling you to handle?
 
If not, get them done because they are blocking your flow. Complete the projects God has given you so He can work miracles with them. I just wanted to send a quick reminder to make sure you spend your time getting things into position this weekend because things are going to break loose any moment. Let’s be ready!
 
Love, Ericka

Speak Your Authority

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ericka Jackson @ 1:31 am

I realized this weekend just how spoiled I am with receiving the Truth of God for the last three years since I’ve moved to Raleigh, NC. I am literally surrounded with the truth of who I am through Jesus on a daily basis.

I praise God that I understand how to use the power of my tongue to literally command things into existence. I was reminded at a speaking engagement that this is not to be taken for granted and that I must make sure that every believer clearly understands who they are and what they have been given the power and authority to do in the name of Jesus.

This is just a quick reminder to walk in the fullness of your authority, power and dominion over all things in the spiritual realm and the natural realm. Boldly speak things that are not as though they were and watch God move mightily in your life.

In His Service,

Now Is The Time For God

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ericka Jackson @ 12:40 am

Has God put a ministry in your heart that you have been waiting for the right time to launch?

Now is the time.

God is calling those who are His elect to come forward and trust Him like never before. He is taking care of destroying the “security” that the world system has lured so many of His believers into thinking that they are safe as long as their money was okay. No more.

Now, more than ever people are realizing that the world does not work and they are searching for the deeper meaning of life and turning to God and His Kingdom. This is the time to reach out and create opportunities for believers to come together and move beyond where they have ever been.

This is the time to write that book (and self-publish, of course). This is the time to get your speaking packet together so you can bring your message to ministries and groups around the country and world. This is the time to work on getting that product idea that helps people feel encouraged and strengthened in The Lord to market.

Whatever it is you have been called to do but have not taken the full steps toward walking it out, it is time. Just think of how much glory you can give God when He meets your action and does it for you in these “tough” times.

Don’t even allow yourself enough time to stop and look around at the panic of the world and talk yourself right out of your calling.

I remember a similar panic eight years ago when I launched my ministry. I left my job in total faith just 11 days before 9/11 without a single penny saved. The entire country almost completely shut down.

If I had listened to what the world was saying I would have remained in a job that was literally making me sick and I would have never stepped out and moved forward in obedience. I knew that moving toward God could not be any worse than my life already was at that point.

It is truly worth everything it takes to share the God in you with others -it is worth everything. If you can just stretch enough to believe God for it, it will be done for you.

Love,

Ericka

Out With the Old

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ericka Jackson @ 2:39 am

I have been in a very strange place the last couple of days. It has felt like some sort of “in-between” space. In between the old and the new. The old episodes of my life have closed and  new episodes are opening but they are not quite a wrap just yet. God is still getting them in order to fully manifest. Yet, I feel like this is exactly where I need to be. The old was about unknowingly carrying the burdens of day-to-day life. The new is about learning how to carry the “hugeness” of the vision God planted within me without it feeling heavy and challenging. What if I could just flow into this and watch what God is going to do?

So, I put down experiencing single motherhood as heavy – no more. I put down any remaining “making it happen” for fully trusting God. The truth is that I was tired. I was tired of carrying everything and I really thought I had already given it to God. But as I found out, I was still trying to carry too much. I picked up letting God do it – all of it.

I simply did not have it in me anymore. It was time to fully get in “the flow” of God and allow Him to work daily miracles in my life. And it feels so liberating! The funny thing is that I thought I was already liberated, but in reality, I am just on my way, not there yet. I realize that this is right where the glory of God can truly show up!

I pray that you can experience this incredible liberation, too. When I remembered that God created me to live without worry, I realized just how off I was from being liberated no matter how far I think I have come. Here are a few steps you can go through to get fully liberated:

1. Take an inventory of your life and notice if you are feeling stress or worry.

2. Admit that you are carrying too much and trying to do too much of what God was created for.

3. Stop it. Stop doing the old. Stop living the old patterns that keep getting you what no longer fits you.

4. Move one thing off of your plate to make space for creating your new patterns and choices.

5. Show up when you promised yourself you would show up. This is the toughest step of all because keeping our word to ourselves is the toughest part yet. But, developing this self-control is imperative to your walk with God.

Let me know how it goes. Love, Ericka.

A Fearless Raise!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ericka Jackson @ 2:43 pm
I recieved this email yesterday and I just HAD to share it with you! It is a great story of how Sharon manifested her fearlessness…Enjoy! Love, Ericka
“Hey there~ My Fearlessness feels great!  I just received a FEARLESS RAISE.    
My old boss from kc called to make a job offer.  I wasn’t planning to move, but had to at least consider it because of the money.  It finally occured to me to tell my employer about the job offer and if they want to keep me, they’ll match the offer, if not, that would help me make the decision.
I was truly shocked when my employer MET the offer.    Before becoming fearless, I would never have even mentioned it to my managers. I would have been afraid that it would upset them or that they wouldn’t meet the offer and i’d end up being embarrassed.
There have been a couple of other instances that I really hadn’t thought about until someone comments.  Nothing major, Janee tease me when I do or say something that before now would be out of character, and this same boss made a comment yesterday using me as an example of someone who speaks up.   “If you need anything just ask - like Sharon!” 
For some reason I dont’ think I’d ever be considered as arrogant – maybe because I was so far on the other end of the spectrum – now I’m just getting centered.  And because I’m fearless with a smile. :) – Sharon Kay Lewis, Kent, WA

My fearless thing for the day was…

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ericka Jackson @ 9:51 pm

The fearless thing that I did yesterday is to have had a couple of my videos posted on YouTube. While this may not sound huge, it was about putting my work out into the world in a very visible way. Yeah! – Ericka

Good Things Are Happening

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ericka Jackson @ 2:50 am

I haven’t written in a couple of weeks, my apologies! Things are truly moving and God has brought in two key people to my team. I have been training my new Marketing Assistant and working with a new Business Manager. I am truly enjoying moving toward automation and freeing myself up to do more of the pieces of my business that I love.

The lesson for me this last couple of weeks is to learn how to back away from things a bit and let my business do what I have worked so diligently for the last 7 years to set-up. This means that I get to write more and spend more time working with media to promote my work. I have been doing radio lately and I love it!

I had a coaching call tonight and we talked about that first process of stepping out and working on your vision and the fear of no one showing up once you do all the hard work. Well, I wanted to remind you as you move forward in your vision, God has a flock of people who are waiting for you. They WILL show up and they are waiting on you!

I was reading in Shape magazine and saw a great quote that talked about how nervous energy is selfish and whenever the reader was feeling nervous, she took the attention off of herself and onto those she is serving. “Yes!!!” I thought, “That’s it!”

If you are feeling nervous about stepping out there on faith, just remember to focus on the people you have been called to serve. The butterflies will leave and you can get back to the big picture. Try it, it works.

Love, Ericka

ps. Here is a picture from my mini-vacation at the beginning of May. We had a chance to go up to the top of the mountain on the ski lift and it was awesome! If you look closely, you can see the tops of the multi-story villas in the background.

It was a great time to relax, take a step away from my business and make some strategic decisions and to enjoy being on the mountain top in Virginia. I even sat out in the sun. I don’t think you can call it “tanning” when you are already brown, so I’ll call it “browning.”

I’m baaaack!!!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ericka Jackson @ 12:21 pm

Whew! Vacation was magnificent! I feel rested and my mind is clear and it feels great! I really need to make sure I get away more often. I took some great pictures to post but I haven’t had a moment to get them off of my cell phone camera (yes, I forgot my camera!).

There was something very special about getting away to the mountaintop. I literally took the ski lift all the way to the mountain peak and was able to look down and remember just how much dominion God gave each of us.

I went to a resort in Virginia with my friend Donna and I read, relaxed, danced, walked, slept, prayed, meditated, wrote, and worked on some projects while I was up there. I am not sure how to put it, but I feel like I fully expanded into the fullness of who I am.

It really took getting away to unplug. I was able to take off the many hats I wear and just tend to my own needs. I did not take any coaching clients, I did not do anything that I did not feel like doing.

Since I’ve been back, my mother flew in from Seattle on Monday to visit. It is so magnificent to see her! She came on my daughter’s 13th birthday. I feel so blessed to have such a special family that so deeply supports my work.

Now, it’s time to fully get back in the groove and bust some things out on a new level. I really heard from God while I was gone and know what He has assigned for me. The challenge is always taking control of my time in a way that gets the work done.

I am working on the finishing touches for a new e-book for The Fearless Revolution participants, setting up 2 Affiliate programs, launching the marketing for my live Raleigh workshop in June this week. And, of course, continuing to expand The Fearless Revolution. I am so excited about things right now, it is literally hard to contain myself.

This week is all about flowing and being present to my mother in the midst of getting the tasks done that are set before me. Oh, and still trying to get to bed on time. I just love being up late at night getting things done, but it is not conducive to the schedule I need to keep. I tell you, when I get my sleep, I get 10x’s more things done.

I also have to know that it is not by my works that God blesses me, it is by His grace and mercy and my faith and belief. This gives me much peace to know that things are moving on my behalf in the spiritual realms as I am being present in the natural realm.

I will download the pictures and get them posted so you can see the incredible views that I got to enjoy on my mountain top vacation. Have a blessed week and I’ll “talk” to you soon!

Love, Ericka

What are your dominoes?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ericka Jackson @ 1:15 pm

Over the last years of my working one-on-one with people, I have created my own vocabulary. I call them “Ericka-isms.” Today is about my “Ericka-ism” called the domino.

I consider dominoes those things that if you focus on doing them, everything else falls into place. Imagine a line of dominoes and the first one being all it takes to set off the others. I have dominoes in every area of my life.

As I move toward re-aligning my body with full health, my domino is to have a Mango smoothie in the morning. Having my smoothie puts me on the right track all day long. Another domino is exercise. When I exercise, I make the right food choices and feel incredible. When I don’t, something feels off.

My domino in my spiritual life is to review my Pastor’s sermons and Bible Studies and write out all of the scripture from the previous lesson. When I do this first thing in the morning, my spirit gets realigned with The Holy Spirit and I feel like I can breath more deeply. When I don’t, my days get started in what feels like a whirlwind.

My domino for my schedule is to write my To-Do list and prioritize my items. On tight days I even block out the times for me to actually complete the items. Yesterday and today are those types of days. In order to complete everything, I have to focus in like a laser beam. It sounds intense, but it actually keeps me feeling free and clear.

I have even figured out my daughter’s dominoes to smooth out this process of raising her. As much as she loves to cook, she truly needs me to make sure there is good, healthy home-cooked food in the house. She also operates better when we are not just on time, but early. If I do those things for her, she stays in a great place and things feel so much better to me. It also keeps me from feeling too much pressure with motherhood (which is the challenge of my life!)

Honoring my dominoes keeps me encouraged and moving forward while staying truly plugged into my vision. What are your dominoes? When you figure them out, they will change your life!

Have a great day and I’ll talk to you soon!

Love, Ericka
